Ohio State's Okudah declares for NFL draft

Jeff Okudah is headed for the NFL.

The Ohio State cornerback announced Wednesday he'll forgo his senior season and enter the 2020 NFL Draft, in which he's expected to be a top-10 pick.

Okudah was among the elite cornerbacks in college football this season. He was named a unanimous first-team All-American, a first-team All-Big Ten selection, and a Jim Thorpe finalist after racking up three interceptions, eight passes defensed, and 34 tackles in 13 games.

The 6-foot-1, 200-pounder could be the second defensive player taken in the draft behind teammate Chase Young.
